Google has launched Gemini Spark in India, a personal AI agent that works around the clock, connecting Google and third-party apps to take action on users’ behalf.
Google has begun rolling out Gemini Spark in India, a personal AI agent designed to work around the clock and take action on behalf of users. First unveiled at Google’s I/O developer conference in May, Spark marks the company’s latest step into the growing field of autonomous AI agents.
What Is Gemini Spark?
Gemini Spark is powered by Gemini 3.5 and functions as a general-purpose AI agent inside the Gemini app. It is built to reason across information from a user’s connected apps and services, helping people manage tasks and information without having to switch between multiple platforms.
According to Google, the goal is to help users navigate their digital lives by allowing Spark to take action on their behalf, while remaining fully under the user’s direction and control.
How Spark Connects With Other Apps
Spark integrates closely with existing Google services. For example, it can pull relevant information, such as a Google Docs file mentioned in an email, without requiring the user to search for it manually.
Google also plans to expand Spark’s reach beyond its own ecosystem. Support for third-party apps is expected soon, including:
- OpenTable
- Spotify
- Uber
Users will also be able to customize how Spark operates, including which apps and information it is allowed to access.
Addressing Concerns Around Always-On AI Agents
The idea of an AI system that operates continuously has raised questions from critics about oversight and control. Google says it has built in safeguards to address this.
Gemini Spark is designed to ask for a user’s permission before carrying out what the company calls “high-stakes” actions, such as sending an email or completing a purchase. This approach is intended to keep users informed and in control, even as the agent operates in the background.
Availability and Pricing in India
In India, Gemini Spark is being made available to subscribers of the Google AI Pro plan, rather than being limited to the higher-tier Google AI Ultra plan alone.
Here is how the relevant subscription tiers compare:
| Plan | Monthly Price | Gemini Spark Access |
|---|---|---|
| Google AI Plus | Not specified | Not available |
| Google AI Pro | Starts at Rs 1,950 | Available |
| Google AI Ultra | Rs 6,500 to Rs 19,500 (based on storage and usage) | Available |
Notably, Spark is not currently offered with the more affordable Google AI Plus plan, meaning users will need at least a Pro subscription to try the new agent.
Why This Matters for Users
For everyday users, Spark’s launch signals a shift in how AI assistants are expected to function, moving from simple question-and-answer tools toward agents that can actively manage tasks across apps.
Some practical takeaways for users considering Spark include:
- Review which apps and data you allow Spark to access before enabling it broadly
- Expect permission prompts for sensitive actions like payments or emails
- Third-party app support is still expanding, so full functionality may take time to roll out
- Compare Pro and Ultra plans based on your storage and usage needs before subscribing
As Google expands Spark’s capabilities and app integrations, its performance and safeguards in real-world use will likely shape how comfortable users feel handing over everyday tasks to an AI agent.
